VAMPIRE FLICK: Vampires are still all the rage, and Oscar-winner Hillary Swank has just bought the rights to Fangland. I dunno. I guess she's a good actress, but she still makes me think "90210." (This is what I tell store clerks when they ask for my zip code.)

A little more interesting is that Gregor Jordan has been signed to direct "The Informers," an adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis story that features rock stars and vampires in L.A.
